Independent Study to Fight Malnutrition
School: Kennebunk High School Amount: $550.00 Applicant: Alan Carp, STEM Coordinator
Over the 2016-2017 school year, a student, working in an independent study, has developed a long shelf-life, nutrient-rich powder derived from potato peelings, which might be used to help fight malnutrition in the developing world. This grant allows the purchasing of equipment to utilize biology and chemistry to produce, test, and preserve the nutritional supplement.
